impristine, there was an article (maybe posted here) something about 25% (or was it even higher - 40%?) of all Americans are on some type of Rx. Eastern medicine really tries to address underlying issues for a disease rather than mask the problem with Western drugs. A little bit of a preventive approach would save a lot of money in the US. Here's a story about a doctor that typifies most western medicine approaches (other than a handful of good ones). Don't usually get headaches, maybe four times in my life. But when I get one, it means something really is wrong (a cold, etc.). Once when I had a headache, I simply wanted to find out what was wrong and correct the source, but this one doctor just said "take an aspirin". I don't need to take an aspirin to block what could be an important diagnostic signal towards identifying the underlying source. Taking an aspirin doesn't help find the source of a problem. Doctors here are trained to tell their patients how to block something, rather than how to identify the source and correct it. One time I got a headache because I needed glasses. Taking aspirin would have been useless. Regards, Amy J
